OK, here is the thing. This is my first real tour in the 10C and also while on this board. I am going to three shows in July. Now that the tour has started for real, I find myself not being able to wait two more months. This is nuts. I am a 32 year old professional man with a fiancee. How do you all pass the time waiting for your show(s)? Are you anxious too?

    i am having a nervous breakdown. i have three shows starting next friday. ive actually am starting to lose sleep. the real question is how the members of the band are able to maintain sanity.

    it's all part of the fun, the anticipation is exciting

    and it just builds and builds

    my first show is in 17 days - that's another thing, you start countdowns :)

    and I have friends coming in from Seattle, and I'm as excited about seeing them again as I am PJ

    Listen to lots of boots from this tour and enjoy the buildup from now until your show/s, it'll be here before you know it.
    Where do i go to soothe my head? Guess i'll turn on music instead.

    I am in the same boat for every tour. Just occupy your mind man. Get into as many hobbies as you can. Play lots of guitar, read books, go to other shows, rent lots of movies, get lots of exercise, etc. Play lots of PJ, crank bootlegs as often as possible, learn all the new lyrics and just get yourself into full-on PJ mode. The waiting will drive you mad but it is TOTALLY worth it. Here I am, 29 years old, and I still get giddy as a school kid when PJ rolls around. Pathetic? Nah. I fu**ing love every second of it.
